Water ripples as the rock splashes inGentle breeze caressing my cheeks brushing my nose
Looking over the horizon trying to figure out what I'm doing
Where I'm going and if someone is coming with me
I gaze at this world with an open mind
But yet I try to be humble as a child
To understand why things are the way they are
Poverty crime disease genocide
So much Evil in this world yet I found peace right here right now
By the water front as the sun bears down and the sea gulls fly high
I look behind me knowing its a mistake
All that floods my mind is whats going on out there in the shadows the places that hide from the light
I have to remain focused or else I'll get lost - lost along with the rest of the carnal flesh
I know only a few understand and have reason like I do
So many if they heard this would laugh or say I'm crazy
But the things I've commited in this flesh, sins I dare not repeat
I look forward again and watch the ducks trail behind each other
Much like my family, The supporter and protector in the front
And the loved ones in back, it will sacrifice it's own life to save those which it loves
Much like myself,
My lips want to curse, my mind filled with guilt and greed
Why does a heart like mine have to be in such a tainted body
Wishing to be cleansed that simply jumping in this bay will rid me of this filth
But the flowers... flowers blooming despite the garbage laying at it's feet
Does this mean I too can become something beautiful out of this turmoil?
I stand up and turn around ready to face this world head on
No longer will I be subdued by my own flesh but I'll follow my heart
The one thing that I know will always lead me straight never astray......
